@@steveyates1136 do you have a photo of that? Jim first tied the Stimulator in 1980, later that year Randall Kaufmann released his version of the Stimulator.
@@ttrengrove No sorry I don't. He use to come into Buz Buszek Fly Shop in Visalia Ca. I don't doubt Jim tied a fly called the Stimulator. I'm just saying I saw something he called a Stimulator years before 1980. I think Randall would be the first to tell you he didn't invent a new fly. It was just like so many other, a variation.
Well done Tom enjoyed watching
Caught my biggest trout on this (14), was a 23lb rainbow that put up a hell of a fight, especially since I actually split the top of my rod
I'm gonna buy you a shirt with a collar next Christmas.

Don't tell the Kufman bros. I saw that fly when they lived in Tulare Ca in the early 70's. Jim is so full of it.
